Here I go again, bringing up another controversial subject. This time it is about an invisible danger. Don’t warn your neighbors about it. They won’t believe what they can’t see. Much like the tobacco industry denied that cigarettes are addictive and cancer causing, this industry scoffs at studies and allegations of danger. I will tell you right now that believing what I am about to write makes you a fanatic. However, it is better to be a knowledgeable fanatic than an ignorant victim.

As human beings, we are really bioelectric machines. Our bodies normally operate at a current of between 2 and 12 hertz (Hz). Because of electrical appliances, electric and magnetic fields of 60Hz can be measured all around us. That 60hz electromagnetic radiation penetrates the entire body, including the brain, 24 hours a day. These fields disrupt hormones and also enzymes. They also trigger chemicals in the body, which promote cancer. Electro-magnetic fields (EMF) from electrical appliances in the bedroom can disrupt the pineal gland and the production of melatonin and serotonin. Put simply, these invisible fields are causing depression and a terrible night’s sleep.

While you sleep, you are 100 to 150 times more open to the damage of electromagnetic radiation then when you are awake. Clock radios, radios, electric alarm clocks, and telephones should be no closer than three to six feet away from your head while you are sleeping. It is best not to have a television in your bedroom at all. That TV screen will radiate energy all night, even after it has been unplugged. It can take hours or even days for the built-up voltage in the television to dissipate.

It is nearly impossible to avoid all electromagnetic radiation, but by taking a few minutes to move electronics away from your bed, you can make a difference in your sleep quality and mental health.
